(Last week’s letter.)
The box party on last Friday

We wish to say that the fonr
young ladie’s v’ho recited at the
opening of the exercises, Miss
Dola Norman, Miss Lillie Craig,
Miss Clemmie Gunter and Miss
Beulah Rosser, did much honor to
themselves.
These ladies as they recited were
surrounded by the beauties of the

rated under the management of
Mrs. Johnson and Miss Castellaw.
Miss Emma Craig and Miss Dola

most popular queen of the com
munity.
Mr. Timon Bowden nominated
Miss Norman, and Mr. Cathy nom
inated Miss Craig.
We desire to call special at ten
tion to these tw’o young men who
were the heroes of the evening.
They aroused the people to such a
pitch that men turned money
loose who litle dreamed of such
thing.
We want to add our praise to
Miss Louis Craig for her heroism
in helping to advance this very
worthy cause.
2545 votes were cast at five cents
each.
Although both ladies could not
be elected, we consider it an honor
conferred on them to be selected
as the means to get this large sum
of money for so worthy a cause.
This is the second time the commu

Craig as its most fit candidate.
We know three men who voted
$25 cash.
The evening was made most en
joyable to all present. Delightful
games were engaged in by many of

How The Weekly is Ap
preciated in Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 14, 1908.
The Henry County Weekly,
McDonough, Ga.
Gentlemen: —
Enclosed you will please find
check for SI.OO of which you will
please place me in good standing
for your paper to Jan. Ist, 1909.
I can’t afford to he without The
Weekly. It seems like a long let
ter from home to me. I was raised
in Henry county near McDonough
and to get this paper it keeps me
posted as to how everytning is in
that whole section, and the welfare
of McDonough, and all the happen
ings in a general way throughout
the entire country.
I am pleased to note that McDon
ough has built up much in the past
few years. I left there about eight
years ago, anti from the tone of the
Weekly I note that there litis been
quite a lot of changes for the good
there.
I also note that McDonough has
two good hanks, and that is good
evidence that it is growing, and to
note the statements of these banks
at the close of business Jan. Bth, it
seems that they are in a fine shape,
this, and other things that I see in
your paper are something that I
feel proud of. lam proud of my
native state, and most especially
Henry County, and to see these in
dustries growing up makes me feel
still more proud of my old stamp
ing grounds.
I will close, with success, best
wishes, and a happy new year to
the Weekly, I beg to remain,
Yours truly,
H. H. Fields.
Mr. W. L. Glass, of near Flippen,
was a visitor here Wednesday and
while in town paid the Weekly a
pleasant call.

lam proud to say I am now
hack in the grand old county of
Henry, the county of my birth.
Many thing have happened since
I left; many have passed away and
many have moved in. It is sur
prising to compare McDonough
now with sixteen years ago. Only
a short while hack I was down in
the city one night, and in walking
from the depot to town, when I
got along where the old Nolan
place formerly stood. I almost be
lieved it was Peachtree street in
Atlanta. I tell you, in truth, it is
not the same place it was thirty
five years ago, with fine church
es, fine school houses, fine resi
dences, which indeed give it the
appearance of a city.
Well, the people of Clayton
county are as clever as there are
anywhere—especially around The
Rock church. I have been told
that, my friend J T Adamson was
being solicited by his many friends
to make the race for Sheriff. Jim
is one of Clayton’s best farmers,
merchant, a man with . a host of
friends—and he sure would make
a fine officer. If he decides to en
ter the race he will be hard to de
feat.
I hepe this will' he one of the
happiest and most prosperous
years under Hoke Smith’s reform
movement the State has ever had.
Everything that run for office on
Hoke’s platform went in. I nev
er thought of the reform move
ment having enough to run it un
til I saw the roof and raiter rising
extra session of the legislature—
five R. R. Commissioners instead
of three ! Hooray for Gov. Smith !
—He has reformed the State so
much in such a short while, why
not send him to the United States
Senate?
Well, Mr. Editor, I think I have
felt the political wave strike us al
ready. Let the reform go on. I
am fearful some of the great re
formers will go out of office this
year—it may be in Henry county.
Hoping The Weekly and its
many readers a huppy. prosperous
New Year.—H. C. Alexander.
